Ahrefs vs Mirakl

Developer ecosystem comparison across GitHub activity, SDKs, documentation, community, reach and momentum.

Ahrefs (BTW we use OCaml) and Mirakl (The Marketplace Company) both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

Ahrefs (rank #401) holds a narrow lead over Mirakl (rank #510) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (41 vs 37). The gap of 4 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

On code quality (the state of repositories, tests, releases and polish), Mirakl is slightly ahead of Ahrefs. On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), Ahrefs is slightly ahead of Mirakl. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Ahrefs is slightly ahead of Mirakl. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), Mirakl is slightly ahead of Ahrefs. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Ahrefs is slightly ahead of Mirakl.

Ahrefs carries 1,303 GitHub stars across 171 public repos, with 28 repositories active in the last 90 days and 7 external contributors on record. Mirakl shows 110 stars across 22 public repos, 8 active in the last 90 days and 3 external contributors. The star gap on its own does not decide the comparison, but Ahrefs's footprint is roughly 11.8x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.

Ahrefs is the stronger read for anyone weighting education. Mirakl looks better where code quality is the deciding factor. The table below breaks the scores down pillar by pillar; the linked profiles cover the underlying repos, docs and community signals in full.
